A refined Malle conjecture for Heisenberg groups

Number Theory 2026-07-07 v1

Abstract

Based on a conjecture of Loughran and the second author, we give an explicit prediction for the leading constant in Malle's conjecture for Galois \mcH\mc{H}-extensions of \Q\Q ordered by discriminant, where \mcH\mc{H} is the 3×33\times 3 Heisenberg group over \F4\F_4. The predicted leading constant is not a single Euler product, but rather a sum of two distinct Euler products. Our methods also give an efficient algorithm for computing the conjectural Loughran--Santens leading constant for many 22-groups of nilpotency class 22.
